Melissa and Wyatt bounded down the hall, half running to their front door of their lavish apartment. A cop greeted them from outside. "We found the suspect. Didn't take anything, we can charge this one off as breaking and entering at the most." He said swinging back and forth on his heels. "Who it it?" Melissa asked shakily. "Persus. She doesn't have a last name she says." Melissa and Wyatt exchanged awkward looks toward each other, as they walked in.
Right in front of them sat Persus, along with Ariana squirming in her hands with two cops holding close gaurd. Noticing Wyatt Persus sat Ariana down and stood up to face them. "Who the hell are you?" Melissa barked wanting to slap Persus for ruining her and Wyatt's evening. "Didn't they tell you?" Persus replied in half a giggle amused by Melissa's anger. "What the hell are you doing in our house?" Wyatt demanded. "Look," Persus started walking over to them," I didn't steal anything. I was just looking for someone." Persus looked over to Wyatt into his eyes completely ignoring Melissa. She tried to hold onto Wyatt's hand but he jerked back. "Looking for someone? Melissa and I don't even know you who could you possibly be looking for?" Persus looked back at Ariana and to Wyatt, half-expecting hefself not to say anything. Finally, she exhaled and spoke. "I was looking for the father of my child."

"Wyatt when you said there was something about you that I would never understand, I didn't expect it to be a child! How could you?!" Melissa screamed. Melissa flopped down on the bed and started to cry. Wyatt wanted to sit beside her and comfort her, but knowing the circumstances he kept his distance and stayed across the room. "I didn't know I had a child!" Wyatt screamed frustrated by this news just dropped onto him. "I didn't even know her!" Wyatt slumped down along the wall and slowed to a stop on the floor. "So it was just a one night stand?" Melissa said imbetween her tears ready to grab the nearest thing to her and throw it at him. "It's not like that." Melissa jumped up furious, wanting to kill the man that she just loved an hour ago.
"Then what is it like Wyatt?! How could you have sex with someone you didn't even know? You acted like you never saw her before in your life!" Melissa paced around the room as Wyatt watched her with tiresome eyes. "I was what- seventeen? She ran away before I could even know she was pregnant. How do we even know that this is my child?" Melissa started to clean out her closet packing some clothes into a suitcase. "Until you do know, I'm gone. I can't marry, I can't even stand to be in the same room with you, knowing that in the next room is your daughter." Wyatt stood up ready to chase after his finance as she picked up her suitcase leaving the room to elsewhere. Wyatt stopped her in the doorway trying to keep her there. "Melissa, wait." He said, but she ignored and snatched his arm above her head walking out towards the door taking a glance at the small toddler before slamming the door shut behind her.
